It is when people use alcohol as an escape route for social, personal or career pressures that abuse or alcoholism can result. Abuse of alcohol, or consumption of more alcohol than the body can handle, can lead to liver damage and other debilitating conditions.
About the Quahog. Quahogs are hard-shelled clams found in estuaries along the Atlantic Coast, from Canada to Texas. Their name, quahog, is a variation of poquauhock, (po-qua-hock) the Native American name for this clam.
The Algonquin language makes use of sounds, phonemes, not found in English. It is believed the word quahog was first used by the Narragansett or Pequot, Algonquin tribes native to what is now Rhode Island. Edible clams are divided into two categories: hard-shell and soft-shell.
